Эта программа, как и все программы рекоммендуемые нами на www.chechnyaadvocacy.org/opportunities.htm полностью оплачена и покрывает все расходы (дорогу, жилье, пропитание) участников. Процесс отбора очень тщателен и квалифицированных кандидатов много, т.ч. нет гарантии, что Вас, как и любого другого кандидата, выберут, если Вы подадите заявку, но те, кто ведет процесс отбора кандидатов не дискриминируют против них на почве национальной принадлежности,
пола или религии. Напротив, многие из этих программ специально нацелены на привлечение кандидатов из национальных меньшинств и регионов, где идут конфликты или есть социальные проблемы, таких, как Северный Кавказ. Мы очень советуем Вам ознакомиться с указанными ниже программами; связаться с нами (can@chechnyaadvocacy.org), если у Вас есть вопросы; подать заявление, если Вас интересует конкретная программа и Ваша кандидатура соответствует ее требованиям; или передать информацию о программах интересующимся сотрудникам, друзьям или родственникам.


John Smith Fellowship



Application deadline for the 2008 program: November 6, 2007

The John Smith Fellowship is an intensive, five-week programme on good governance, democracy and social justice in the United Kingdom . The Programme combines a seminar series, placements and visits designed to give an insight into democratic practice. Core themes include good governance, the rule of law, social justice, tolerance and the democratic accountability. The Programme was established in 1996, by the John Smith Memorial Trust to provide a permanent memorial to one of Britain 's best loved politicians. John Smith was the Leader of the Labour Party and, at the time of his death in May 1994, was widely expected to become the next Prime Minister. He was admired for his advocacy of public service, democratic government and social justice. The Fellowship Programme promotes the high ideals he embodied. Its goals are to strengthen and deepen democratic awareness through a study programme and placements which show the workings of democratic organisations and their role within a democratic society. The Programme targets young leaders of high caliber from the former Soviet Union working in politics, local government or civil society with an established interest in promoting democratic values.

The 'ideal' candidate will be aged 25-35, working in politics, local administration or civil society, with a track record of concern for good governance and promoting democratic values. Good written and spoken English is essential.

If you would like to apply, please contact us at can@chechnyaadvocacy.org no later than October 20, 2007. As always, our volunteers will assist you with any questions and preparing your application.

The Programme lasts for five weeks in the UK and is made up as follows:

* An introductory week in Edinburgh , Scotland
* An intensive, two-week Seminar Series on the political process in a mature democracy: A series of discussions and meetings with senior academics and practitioners combined with visits to illustrate how public policy is made and developed.
* Planning and preparation of “individual action plans” setting out how insights gained in the UK can be turned into concrete developments applied at home.
* A weekend conference on the role of the media in a democracy; providing an opportunity to explore issues of mutual interest and concern with invited guests from the UK
* Two weeks of individual attachments to suitable organisations – for example, working with an NGO, “shadowing” a politician, a placement in central government, local administration or the media.
* A final week in London with visits to Parliament and other institutions, and opportunities to analyse collective experience.
* A concluding seminar during which Fellows present their projects to representatives of the Department for Constitutional Affairs, the John Smith Memorial Trust and the British Council.

The Programme aims to

Bring together influential young civil society and political leaders to exchange views and receive training and information on democratic practices and the promotion of good government.

Deepen awareness of how a mature democracy supports and develops good governance, the Rule of Law, human rights, and social justice, and encourages democratic access and accountability.

Promote a dialogue between Fellows within and outside their home countries, and create and maintain links with young leaders and those working in similar fields in the U.K.

The Fellowship Programme covers the following broad subject areas:

representative government in a democracy

citizenship, law and rights

civil society and the popular voice

business and public life

international institutions

Fellows are expected to produce a personal plan of action to be carried out when they return home. In the following year a Follow-Up Conference in one of the Fellowship countries brings all Fellows together to report on their activities and compare progress. The value of networking after the Fellow returns home and seeks to put into practice what he/she has learned is of great importance.

The Programme is designed to offer opportunities for comparison and contrast and explore issues most relevant to Fellows’ countries. Fellows are encouraged to think constructively about what they learn while in the UK , what they might see that is of use to them in their work, and how they can turn these insights into concrete developments to take back to their workplaces. At the conclusion of the fellowship, individual and collective action plans are drawn up to aid follow-up activities.
